Cheers!

Happy New Year!

     We are snuggled in warm and toasty on this first day of 2011. The temperature outside is 12 degrees, brrr! So thankful for the gas fireplace, hot coffee and warm quilts.

My neighbor and I started a Bunco group recently. Our first Bunco night is January 10th, at my house. After being the new gal in town for the past 6 months, I am very thrilled to have a group of 12 ladies coming to my house for fun and merriment! I decided to go with a Martini theme for the evening. We will have several types of Martinis and yummy appetizers. My theme just happened to work into this week's Flaunt it Fridays Challenge also! With that in mind, I made these Martini place cards for the drink table.

Here is a peek at each on individually:

I used the From My Kitchen cartridge for cricut for the Martini glasses. they were cut from Bo Bunny white glitter paper. I then used a glue been and extra fine glitter to rim the glasses with "sugar". For the Chocotini I made little chocolate shavings fro the rim with brown card stock. Each place card was mounted on chipboard pieces for sturdiness and then trimmed with blue chalk ink. 

Now I get to go shopping to find some cute napkins and plates that coordinate with my color scheme!
